PETALING JAYA: Anyone who received a Covid-19 vaccine shot that is proven to be "empty" will be given a proper dose, says Health Minister Datuk Seri Adham Baba.

       Berita Harian quoted him as saying that the ministry would contact the individuals concerned to receive their vaccines.

       "They will be called in for an injection again," he said in a brief message to the daily.

       He was responding to several individuals who recorded themselves during the process and claimed they were not given any Covid-19 vaccine.

       Several videos have since gone viral on messaging applications and social media.

       The Covid-19 Immunisation Task Force (CITF) said it was working with the authorities to investigate alleged wrongdoings during vaccinations under the immunisation programme.

       It added that it would not hesitate to end the services of personnel found to be involved in misconduct.

       The CITF is investigating two reports of empty syringes being used during the vaccination process.

       One case allegedly took place at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre on July 17, which was reported by a member of the public.

       The other case allegedly took place at the Bangi Avenue Convention Centre on Sunday (July 18), and a report was made by a healthcare officer there.
